SAT IIs for UCs

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation

<p>I am thinking about continuing my studies in Korean at the university.. so I am considering taking the Listening test this November.. for placement? Is this necessary? I would also take Mathematics Level 2.. and I already have Biology M that I took in May. And I know UCs only count the two highest tests.. I got 800 on Biology.. and I would probably score higher on Korean than Math because I am Korean and I have been studying the language for more than 8 years and I am horrible at math..</p>

<p>Should I even try to take Math Level 2?</p>

<p>i suggest if u can get 650+ on math, then take it rather than korean.</p>

<p>Get the Barron for SAT I book. It has a great review for basic math like Algebra and Geometry. Then get the PR math 2 book and go through that book. Finally get the Barron SAT math 2 and work through that book. </p>

<p>It's a little bit long, but for students who are not so strong at math this is almost a sure way to get that 800.</p>

<p>knowing that UCs only count the 2 highest scores, how much of a benefit would u guys think there is in taking more SATIIs? and if u take more but do badly on them, would u rather have not taken them at all? TIA</p>

<p>IMO, UCs are very numbers oriented and process a ton of applications. I'd say they take the top two and move on, as they don't have to time to do an in-depth analysis on each applicant's testing patterns.</p>

<p>The UCs don't even allow you to enter more than two scores on the app; they don't want to see more than two. </p>

<p>btw: I would not be surprised if the UC drops the subject test requirement entirely, but it will not do so for the class of '09.</p>

<p>^^^
Second that. UCs laid the groundwork to distance themselves from SAT and other standardized tests a few years ago.</p>

<p>but 09's safe for sure? cuz i don't want all this effort to go to waste lol</p>
